Situated on College Square East, here’s what some of the rooms inside one of Belfast’s new student accommodation hubs will look like.

The 413-room John Bell House will provide a mix of en suite shared apartments and studios, as well as renovated social spaces for those studying at nearby Queen’s University and the University of Ulster.

The building was previously Belfast Technical High School and Belfast Metropolitan College, but has been renamed in honour of the award winning physicist who famously corrected Einstein with Bell’s Theorem, and who happened to be a former pupil in the building.

The former Grand Hall is being converted into a social space, one of several communal areas that will be available for regular social events, and there’ll also be an an oak panelled drawing room will become a quiet study space for students.
